If there are 19 cheerleaders total, how many cheerleaders need a size 6? | Let s be the number of cheerleaders who need a size 6 and t be the number who need a size 12. We know that s = 2t and s + t + 4 = 19.
Substituting the first equation into the second equation, we get 2t + t + 4 = 19
Combining like terms, we get 3t + 4 = 19
Subtracting 4 from both sides, we get 3t = 15
Dividing both sides by 3, we get t = 5
Substituting that value back into the equation s = 2t, we get s = 2 * 5 = <<2*5=10>>10
#### 10 | The cheerleading coach is ordering new uniforms. There are 4 cheerleaders who need a size 2, a certain number who need a size 6, and half that number who need a size 12. |

During the entire 8 month period, she cuts her lawn 8+16 = <<8+16=24>>24 times
Every 4th time she cuts, she needs 2 gallons of gas. If she cuts her lawn 24 times a year then she needs to fill up 24/4 = 6 times
Each time she fills up, it takes 2 gallons of gas so 2*6 = <<2*6=12>>12 gallons of gas per year
#### 12 | Helen cuts her lawn starting in March and finishes in October. Her lawn mower uses 2 gallons of gas every 4th time she cuts her lawn.

For the worksheets they plan to dedicate 1.5 hours for each worksheet, 1.5 hours x 4 worksheets = <<1.5*4=6>>6 hours total.
Angelo and Melanie need to start with planning 12 hours to study, at 4 hours a day, 12 / 4 = <<12/4=3>>3 days.
However, they need to include time for breaks and lunch. Every hour they want to include a 10-minute break, so 12 total hours x 10 minutes = <<12*10=120>>120 extra minutes for breaks.
They also want to include 3 10-minute snack breaks, 3 x 10 minutes = <<3*10=30>>30 minutes.
And they want to include 30 minutes for lunch each day, so 120 minutes for breaks + 30 minutes for snack breaks + 30 minutes for lunch = 180 minutes, or 180 / 60 minutes per hour = 3 extra hours.
So Angelo and Melanie want to plan 12 hours to study + 3 hours of breaks = <<12+3=15>>15 hours total.
They want to study no more than 4 hours each day, 15 hours / 4 hours each day = <<15/4=3.75>>3.75
They will need to plan to study 4 days to allow for all the time they need.

Given that each student can have a maximum score of 150, what combined score do the last two tests need to have for Karen to earn a $600 bonus? | First subtract $500 from Karen's goal bonus amount to find how much she makes from the extra $10/point bonus: $600 - $500 = $<<600-500=100>>100
Then divide the extra bonus by the extra rate: $100 / $10/point = <<100/10=10>>10 points
Then add the 10 extra points to the baseline 75 point goal to find the students' average test score: 10 points + 75 points = <<10+75=85>>85 points
Then added the 8 graded tests to the 2 ungraded tests to find the total number of tests: 2 tests + 8 tests = <<2+8=10>>10 tests
Then multiply the 85 point average by the number of tests to find the total number of points the students need to earn: 85 points/test * 10 tests = 850 points
Then multiply the current average by the current number of graded tests to find how many points have been earned so far: 70 points/test * 8 tests = <<70*8=560>>560 points
Then subtract the number of points earned from the number of points needed to find the combine score the last two tests need: 850 points - 560 points = <<850-560=290>>290 points
#### 290 | Karen's students are about to take a standardized test. Karen gets a $500 bonus if their average score is above 75, plus an extra $10 bonus for every additional point the average score increases above 75. So far, Karen has graded 8 tests, and the average is 70. |

How old was Teresa when she gave birth to Michiko? | The difference in age between Teresa and Morio is 71 - 59 = <<71-59=12>>12 years.
When their daughter is born, Teresa is 38 - 12 = <<38-12=26>>26 years old.
#### 26 | Teresa is 59 and her husband Morio is 71 years old. Their daughter, Michiko was born when Morio was 38. |
What is my age? | We know that my age divided by three is equal to my age minus six therefore X/3 = X-6 where X = My age
This means that X = 3X - 18 because we can multiply both sides by 3
This also means that -2X=-18 because we can subtract 3X from the right side.
Therefore X = 9 because - 18/-2 = <<-18/-2=9>>9

If her sister watches a total of 24 shows on Netflix per week, and each show is 50 minutes long, how many minutes of Netflix does Gina get to choose? | Let g be the number of shows Gina chooses and s be the number her sister chooses. We know that g = 3s and g + s = 24
Substituting the first equation into the second equation, we get 3s + s = 24
Combining like terms, we get 4s = 24
Dividing both sides by 4, we get s = 6
Substituting this value back into g = 3s, we get g = 3 * 6 = <<3*6=18>>18
Then multiply the number of shows by the length of each show in minutes to find the total number of minutes Gina chooses: 18 shows * 50 minutes/show = <<18*50=900>>900 minutes

How old was his mother when she gave birth to him if she is younger than his father by 1/25 of Harry's current age? | Harry's father is 50 years + 24 years = <<50+24=74>>74 years old.
Harry's mother is 1/25 * 50 years = <<1/25*50=2>>2 years younger than his father.
So she is currently 74 years - 2 years = <<74-2=72>>72 years old.
So when Harry was born, she was 72 years - 50 years = <<72-50=22>>22 years old.
#### 22 | Harry is 50 years old. His father is currently 24 years older than he is. |
How many minutes did he play? | He played 7*2 = <<7*2=14>>14 gigs
The long song was 5*2=<<5*2=10>>10 minutes

How many people are on the bus after the third stop? | The bus started with 50 people – 15 who got off at the first stop = <<50-15=35>>35 people on the bus.
At the second stop, 35 people on the bus – 8 who got off = <<35-8=27>>27 people.
Then there were 27 people + 2 who got on = <<27+2=29>>29 people on the bus.
At the third stop, 29 people on the bus – 4 who got off = <<29-4=25>>25 people on the bus.
Then there were 25 people on the bus + 3 who got on = <<25+3=28>>28 people on the bus.
#### 28 | There were 50 people on the city bus. At the first stop, 15 people got off. At the next stop 8 people got off and 2 got on. At the third stop, 4 people got off and 3 people got on. |
What percent of the population of the school do not like to play basketball if the ratio of the male to female students is 3:2 and there are 1000 students? | The students are divided into 3 + 2 = <<3+2=5>>5 parts where 3 parts are for males and 2 parts are for females.
Each part represents 1000/5 = <<1000/5=200>>200 students.
So, there are 3 x 200 = <<3*200=600>>600 males.
And there are 2 x 200 = <<2*200=400>>400 females.
Hence, 600 x 2/3 = 400 males play basketball.
And 400 x 1/5 = <<400*1/5=80>>80 females play basketball.
A total of 400 + 80 = <<400+80=480>>480 students play basketball.
Therefore, 1000 - 480 = <<1000-480=520>>520 do not like to play basketball.
The percentage of the school that do not like to play basketball is 520/1000 * 100 = <<520/1000*100=52>>52
#### 52 | In a certain school, 2/3 of the male students like to play basketball, but only 1/5 of the female students like to play basketball. |
